A Firefox version is already on the list, but due to the fact that Firefox development takes much longer and that most people are too much concerned (understandable) about their security, I made the Chrome Extension first.

What he means is that when a Chrome extension accesses a website, it requires permission from the user first. This means, for example, an extension can't grab child pron and get you in trouble without you knowing.

This does not necessarily mean that he needs the ability to log into your battle.net or diablofans account...

...however, the request from the extension is:Your data on battle.net, diablofans.com, and twitter.com
+Your tabs and browsing activity

With this coupling, I will not personally guarantee you're safe. To me this can be interpreted as being able to read your account info if you happen to open your profile with the extension running. Doesn't mean it will or even can, but it certainly sounds a lot scarier than simply being able to access those domains independent of your personal browsing.

Note however that if you have AdBlock installed, you are already trusting one stranger with far more access than this guy.

This guy is right. Currently I have to manually extract the server status from the Battle.net page. In the future, when the API is out, my Ext. will use this as the only source. I can not give you a guarantee that it is 100% safe, but you might just take the fact that I really wanted to establish my being here in the past and that I was listening to feature requests which were realized then.

Thank you for writing this. I really like the app and its a minor preference issue but I was wondering if you could give a few more options for disabling certain aspects. For example, I personally want login messages, server statuses and diablofans news, but I don't care for twitter stuff so being able to disable that would be nice. Overall its a nice extension. (It is also possible I just missed that option)

C'mon over 350 views and only 2 replies? I'm not begging for attention but I just wonder if you guys:
-don't trust my work (which I fully understand)
-tell me how to get this thing more trustworthy
-don't like it
-don't need it
-don't have Chrome

i remember many situations in world of warcraft where the authentication servers were down, but not the actual play servers.
if diablo servers are organized the same, you app might have a "sound" option, if run in the background of a diablo game, to warn not to disconnect.

probably useless, but i guess that would be the kind of "functionality" that would qualify as "need" instead of "want".

PS: i read your explanations and all, but i won't allow your app to check battle.net domain.
just isn't worth the risk.
but i applaud the thought AND the work

I need it, but I can wait for you to port it to Firefox. My girlfriend uses Chrome and I see no major differences between it and the new Firefox 13 to warrant me switching over (as the only reason I ever considered moving to Chrome was the saved pages when opening a new tab for quick navigation to your favorites, which was implemented in Firefox 13.)

In order to login to Diablo 3, you have to go through the authentication servers (i.e. the part of your login that says "Authenticating"), so that would be a nice option to have.
